Kahala

HI 90s reflects the bold floral style that defined aloha wear in the 1990s. During the decade, conversational prints, fuller silhouettes, and expressive tropical motifs became central to island style. Drawn from a Kahala heritage print of the era, the design features oversized hibiscus florals in a classic pareo-inspired layout. Offered in Coffee and Hibiscus, with Coffee also available in a women’s style.

Reissued for Kahala’s 90th Anniversary, HI 90s is crafted in our signature cotton broadcloth, a classic aloha shirt fabric known for its crisp structure and breathable comfort. Tailored with vintage-inspired details like coconut buttons, a matched front, and a vintage-inspired collar, this silhouette reflects the relaxed styling that defined aloha shirts during the decade.

This print is part of Kahala’s 90th Anniversary Through the Decades Collection. In 2026, we will reissue one archival print each month, each representing a defining decade in our history, honoring 90 years of aloha through designs rooted in their time and enduring in style.

As early as 1810, this cotton fabric came from Tahiti and left its impressions on many artists and traveled royalty. French painter Paul Gauguin painted many of his primitive lifestyle pieces with women draped in the bold and colorful pareos. As a forerunner to the traditional tapa cloth, pareo made its way to the shores of the Hawaiian islands in the early 1930s, and its unique hand painted likeness continues in this Duke's Pareo design, with subtle pineapple and floral imagery. Sewn with the reverse side for a vintage look.
